American Revolution

The American Revolution was one of the most radical events in history. Britain had always controlled the colonists and now it was time for change. The colonists were tired of being taxed and controlled by Parliament who resided all the way across the sea. Colonists fought for their indepedence during the Revolution and risked everything that they had. Everything that the colonist depended on was somehow linked to Britain (ex. trade and government) and after the war was over, colonists were in a different situation where they had to figure out how to find other ways to get supplies and goods. They eventually set up trade with Asia and France and created their own government despite how effective it was. The colonists experienced all of these changes just to gain their independence from Britain and this is why I believe American Revolution was so radical.
